Chipotle Chili

Chili is one dish that goes great with eating a low carb very well as it is mainly meat and spices. It is not exactly a very precise recipe and it is pretty hard to screw up but I have put in approximate amounts for the spices. With how flexible the recipe is, you can adjust it to your taste preferences. Also, I use black soy beans as they have very few carbs and lots of fiber which makes these the lowest carb beans around. If you don't have the Ground Chipotle Pepper, the recipe will be fine without it but I really recommend it as it has tons of great flavour to add.


Ingredients
- 2-5 pounds of beef or pork(ground, shredded, doesn't matter)
- Can of tomatoes
- 1-2 onions
- Several peppers
- Onion Powder (2-6 Tbsp)
- Garlic (1-4 Tbsp)
- Mexican Chili Powder(3-8 Tbsp)
- Ground Chipotle Pepper (1-3 Tbsp adjust for heat and flavour)
- Crushed Chilies (1-3 Tbsp adjust for heat)
- Can of black soy beans (Optional)

Get all your ingredients together, I used 5 lbs
of ground beef for this recipe

Chop up the onions

Throw them into a large pot with some oil on high heat

Add the meat after frying the onions for a bit

Shake plenty of onion powder on as well as the garlic

Be generous with the chili powder and throw
some of the other spices in

Cook until browned, mixing well

Crack open a can of tomatoes

And dump those in

Mix it up and let it cook off some extra moisture
Let it cook for 10-30 minutes

Get your peppers cut up if not done already

Throw all those peppers in there

And keep it cookin'

If you are adding beans,
get those ready
No offense to any Texans

And add them

Now just let it cook and taste it
occasionally to see if it is done.
If you want, add more spices to improve
the flavour if it needs any tweaking

Crispy Coated Chicken Strips

This is a quick and easy low carb dish that is one of my favourites. They make a great leftover lunch for the next day or even a quick snack right out of the fridge(tastes pretty good even when it`s cold). This really takes care of any cravings I get for shake 'n bake or coated chicken.

 

Ingredients:
- Several chicken breasts thawed out
- 1 Cup Crushed Pork rinds
- 2 Tablespoons Unflavoured Protein Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Ground Almonds(Almond Flour)
- 1 Tablespoon Psyllium
- 1/2 Tablespoon Parsley
- 1/2 Tablespoon Onion Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Paprika
- Couple shakes of seasoning salt and pepper


- 1 or 2 eggs



Preheat the oven to 375 F

Get these things together

Crush the pork rinds

Mix ingredients for the coating together

Mix it well

Cut your chicken into strips

Add the eggs to the chicken and mix

Take the strips out of the egg and coat them

Get them totally covered

And put them on an oiled pan

Throw them in the oven at 375 F

Take them out 30-40 minutes later or
whenever the chicken is done and the
coating is crispy enough for your taste

Serve with side dish(es) and enjoy!

Guilt Free Cheesecake

This here is a cheesecake recipe that is a great tasting and makes very convenient treat when cut into slices and then frozen for later. I prefer mine with berries and whipped cream, but it is good enough to eat by itself too.

Great with wild blueberries

For the crust you will need:

• 1 1/2 Cups Ground Almonds/Almond Flour
• 2 Tbsp Sweetener
• 2Tbsp Melted Butter

 For the filling you will need:

• 2 Packages Cream Cheese
• 3 Eggs
• 1/2 Cup Whipping Cream
• 1 Tsp Vanilla
• 4 Tsp Lemon Juice
• 2/3 Cup or so of sweetener(We used 1/2 Cup Splenda, 1/8 Cup of Xylitol, and a bit of Stevia

Start off by making the cheesecake crust. Turn on the oven to preheat at 325 F.

Melt the butter

Then add the almond and sweetener and mix well

Pour crust into cake pan

Press into the bottom of the pan

Throw it in the oven at 325 F for 10-15 minutes

Now grab this stuff

Soften the cream cheese and throw it in a bowl

Beat the cream cheese and add eggs 1 at a time

Add everything else and beat it

Beat until mixed thoroughly

Pull out your almond pie crust

Pour the filling in

Throw it into the oven for an hour at 325F

Pull it out and set it aside to cool and set

It's ready a few hours later after sinking a bit

Enjoy!

I like mine with whipped cream and blueberries

A little sprinkle of xylitol too. Mmmm...
